Chapter 229: A Game Within a Game
It took a long time for Shen Xi to be considered full of food and drink, she spread out on the chair and sighed. Only then did she notice that the eyes of the people next to her were straight, and she smiled embarrassedly, "The main thing is that this breakfast is so delicious, I didn't hold back all of a sudden, and ate more." ”
"It's okay, I'm used to it, and they will get used to it." The bun Lu Qingyi held in his hand was still his first bun, and he had only eaten half of it, and he had only drunk half of the porridge.
Shen Xi glared at Lu Qingyi and did not speak.
Just after breakfast, Lu Qingyi wanted to take Shen Xi out for a walk and eliminate food, but he saw an officer and soldier running in eagerly.
"Master Lu, Miss Shen, our adults let you go." The officer and soldier were still panting, and when he saw this, Shen Xi frowned.
"What's going on?" Lu Qingyi also immediately became serious, he looked at the officer and soldier, and asked.
"It was said that the woman who poisoned the princess of Wu died in a prison cell." The voices of the officers and soldiers trembled, and he could feel the cold air around Lu Qingyi.
Hearing this, Lu Qingyi and Shen Xi didn't have time to think, and rode directly to Dali Temple.
The bosom friend has been covered with a white cloth, the ground is full of blood stains that have not yet dried, and the fishy smell is still very strong, Shen Xi has just eaten enough, and he wants to vomit when he smells this smell.
She covered her nose slightly with her hand, Lu Qingyi lifted the white cloth, and her bosom friend's eyes were still wide open, and fear was reflected in her pupils.
Further down, the neck was cut, the wound had congealed, and the whole body of the bosom friend was soaked in his own blood.
Lu Qingyi observed for a long time before covering the white cloth again, he got up and said to Liu Congwen: "One knife kills, the other party should be a resolute master in doing things."
"But who in this cell would come in late at night and kill her?" Shen Xi thought of the words on the letter, and then said: "This may be that person's solution, but what good is it for him to kill his bosom friend?" The bosom friend should have been sentenced to death, and this life was picked up. ”
Shen Xi was entangled with a lot of questions in her heart, she couldn't figure it out, and she wanted to know what the truth of the matter was, and who was the person behind the manipulation?
"Being in prison and being beheaded are two different things. Whether it is the people outside or the family members of bosom friends, they will have different views on this matter. Lu Qingyi's eyes were cold, and he kept staring at the corpse of his bosom friend.
"This matter will soon reach the ears of the emperor, and it will not only be Dali Temple that will be implicated at that time, but also the three princes and you who are also investigating the case." Liu Congwen and Lu Qingyi said.
"So we have to find a way to deal with it quickly, and as soon as the bosom friend dies, her parents will definitely make a fuss." Lu Qingyi's eyebrows were deep.
That person's purpose is obvious, he set up a bureau from the beginning, they were all in the bureau, and they didn't go out, now that I think about it, I feel strange, why did the bosom friend say in court that she was deceived by others.
From the beginning of the layout, he didn't plan to let the bosom friend live, but she wanted her death to be beneficial to him, thinking about this, Shen Xi felt creepy, what kind of mind does a person have to have to set up this kind of game, so that everyone can follow his game.
As soon as the bosom friend's parents saw her corpse, they cried bitterly, crying a handful of snot and tears, and Mrs. Song didn't care about the blood stains on the bosom friend's body, so she hugged her and closed her eyes. Love more than the book city
After a long time, Master Song got up, his eyes were still very red, he stared at Liu Congwen and Lu Qingyi viciously, and finally stopped his eyes on Shen Xi, "You are all murderers, and you will return my daughter's life." ”
As he spoke, Master Song rushed up and grabbed Shen Xi's neck, Lu Qingyi and Liu Congwen saw this, and hurriedly separated them, there were still blood stains on his hands that touched his bosom friend just now, and after being separated, Shen Xi's neck was full of blood.
Shen Xi felt the coldness, she touched it with her hand, and she touched the crimson blood, she looked at the blood on her hand, and thought that there was blood on her neck, so she kept wiping it with a handkerchief, trying to wipe it clean.
Seeing this, Lu Qingyi stepped forward to take her handkerchief and wiped the blood on her neck.
After wiping the blood clean, Shen Xi was still a little afraid, she settled her mind, and then walked to Master Song's side, looked at him fixedly, and asked loudly, "Master Song, do you know that I can report to the official to arrest you based on what you did just now?" ”
"Still arresting me? I'm a murderer, you murderer, if you kill my daughter, you will exchange your life for your life. Master Song was detained by the jailers, and he didn't forget to spit out Shen Xi's saliva.
Lu Qingyi pulled Shen Xi behind him, his eyes looked sharply at Master Song, his face was cold, "Master Song, we are sorry for your daughter's death, but before the truth of the matter is found out, you can't spew blood." You may not be able to escape responsibility for your daughter's death. ”
"What do you mean by that? Could it be that I will still harm my daughter? Master Song struggled, he stared at Lu Qingyi.
"Do you think the people who are secretly in contact with you are really good for you? Have you ever wondered why he taught you to do this, and why did he teach your daughter to poison Princess Wu? It is your mistake that you are not assertive and at the mercy of others. ”
Lu Qingyi put everything that Master Song and his bosom friend had done in the past few days on the table.
Master Song was dumbfounded for a while, they did listen to the words in the man's letter from the beginning, and they were doing what he said, but they would never have thought that this would harm their daughter.
"On what basis do you say that we are at the mercy of men, and what evidence do you have that he killed them? This is clearly that you are killing people and destroying your mouths, and framing them. Mrs. Song, who had been holding her bosom friend, couldn't hold back after all, and yelled at Lu Qingyi.
"What are we going to destroy? Who are you going to blame? The bosom friend confessed his guilt in front of everyone, even if we are guilty, at most it is a crime of lax care, but what about you? What kind of crime is it to collude with the wicked and kill your own daughter without repentance? ”
Shen Xi could feel the anger on Lu Qingyi's body, but she felt very relieved to be protected by Lu Qingyi.
"We won't stop this matter like this, don't think that you have the power to kill people casually, we will definitely seek justice for our daughter." Mrs. Song's face was full of tears, and she was still holding her bosom friend's body, and she was reluctant to put it down.
"It's your business to make trouble, and it's also my job to find out the real culprit, I hope that by that time, you won't regret what you said today." As Liu Congwen spoke, he asked someone to carry the body of the bosom friend to the ice cellar and store it.
Mrs. Song was also pulled away by the jailers, and could only watch her daughter being carried away, even if she died, she was not at peace.
"You killed my daughter, and you still want to destroy the corpse." Mrs. Song gritted her teeth and glared at Liu Congwen and them, and asked loudly.
"When the truth of the matter is found out, Dali Temple will definitely send her back intact in person." As Liu Congwen spoke, he asked someone to drag Master Song and Mrs. Song away.
